This is an annual yearbook that provides business valuation professionals with the data that they need to determine company risk and cost of capital models that adjust for specific-country or region risks. The book will provide country-level cost of equity capital estimates for more than 150 countries, from the perspective of investors based in any one of more than 30 countries. It is intended to replace the (now discontinued) Morningstar international reports.

This book provides the same type of rigorous industry-level analysis previously published in the green-cover Morningstar/Ibbotson Cost of Capital Yearbook. Noteworthy in this book is (1) the inclusion of additional methods to calculate industry-level cost of equity capital and other statistics, which enables a more robust benchmarking analysis when developing industry cost of capital estimates, and (2) new analysis of the impact of "off-balance-sheet" debt (specifically, capitalized operating leases and unfunded pension liabilities) on capital structure.
The book includes cost of capital estimates (i.e., equity capital, debt capital, and WACC) for over 200 U.S. industries and size groupings (i.e., large-, mid-, low-, and microcapitalization companies), plus a host of detailed statistics that can be used for benchmarking purposes. It contains data which the valuation analyst will find useful in benchmarking, augmenting, and supporting his or her own custom analysis of the industry in which a subject business, business ownership interest, security, or intangible asset resides.

Cost of Illiquidity

by Shannon P Pratt and Ashok Abbott

Published 12 July 2013
The impact of illiquidity examined in unprecedented depth and scope Cost of Illiquidity provides a uniquely comprehensive assessment of the impact of illiquidity on a company's value. While much has been written about the concept, the totality of illiquidity's impact has never been addressed in a practical manner until now. This book delves into the true cost of illiquidity in capital markets, and identifies quantifiable measures for assessment of value and risk. Illiquidity discount calculations are explained step-by-step and examined in relation to discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability, and the relationship between liquidity, cost of capital, and equity risk premium is reviewed in detail. An historical liquidity profile of the U.S. Stock Market surveys the value impact, while issues specific to markets from the European Union to developing countries are examined and addressed. With an emphasis on practical application, this book also includes data resources, a statistical analysis review, definitions, measurements, costs, and more to help you apply illiquidity calculations in real-world valuations.
The cost of illiquidity is a critical element in investing and trading in capital markets, and it involves a number of controversial issues. This book addresses these issues and provides practical knowledge for finance professionals seeking a more comprehensive assessment of a company's value. * Quantify illiquidity as part of a business valuation * Address illiquidity as a major factor is risk assessment * Estimate the impact of illiquidity on stock value * Apply illiquidity issues to markets around the globe Illiquidity is a significantly greater factor in stock value and business and asset valuations than previously thought, and its role in contemporary Wall Street and banking issues makes it an area of critical concern. Cost of Illiquidity is an invaluable resource with timely solutions for any finance professional.
